Hypothetical Situation

Wife, bored while out for a walk on a Friday morning, calls up Husband.

Husband: (all professional, clearly with someone else at work) Hello?
Wife: Hiya Hunneeee...
Husband: (melting only slightly) Hi!
Wife: Where are ya?
Husband: (as if she didn't know) In Bangalore today.
Wife: Whatcha dooin?
Husband: (back to business-like tone) Just about to get into a meeting, actually.
Wife: Oh! That's so nice! Do you love me?
Husband: (stiffly) Yes.
Wife: Say it! Say it! Say it!
Husband: (lowering voice) Kya hai...
Wife: (chanting) Say! Say! Say!
Husband: Hmm. I do.
Wife (not satisfied yet): Tell me I'm your shnoookybums!
Husband (aghast): What?
Wife: Shnookybums! Say it! Say it! Say it!
Husband (trying to cover up): Okay, I'm going to have to call you back on this one. Getting into that meeting now.
Wife: Nooo....first say it! say it! say it!
Husband (totally embarassed now): Okay, thanks. Bye...

If the wife finally hangs up and continues on her walk -with a smile so smug and gleeful that all passers-by do a double-take - maybe it is time for her to go back to her job, hmmm?

    No, no, that does not mean that you can go back to work at all....cos that would take you away from writing the funnies.

    And previous post was also very dhansu...sab hil gaye!

    Dare I even ask the man to say I love you? On the phone? Do I need my ears bitten off?

    Yes, snookybums. Get back to work. He can then take his revenge.

    Oh yeah! But that was before we got married and it was his mom standing behind him. Does that count? :D For the record, his mom didn't like me at all at that time, so the task was extra difficult!
